The Fist Bump That Changed Their Day: How 94-Year-Old Wally Became a Beacon of Kindness for Middle Schoolers

Kindness exists in the world. Positive and negative influences can shape a person into a good or bad person. Since there are also good characters with love, honesty, courage, and loyalty, we will follow this article’s positive influence. These kinds of good characters attract you if you want to be a good person for society or your well-being. However, destiny holds a plan for every individual. Some people blame themselves when they don’t have this kind of soul. Destiny leads you to the places and people you must be with.

This short tale about Gina tells us that we should not ignore the good things that come into our lives; they are a blessing that we should adore. Gina was the mother of four beautiful children who were respectful of others.

The best part is that they are children under ten. They set the motto in their house: “If it isn’t motivating, encouraging, or inspiring, don’t say it.” That day, Audrey, Gina’s eldest daughter, was starting her first year of middle school.

Because of Gina’s excellent parenting, she taught them that although the world isn’t necessarily beautiful, there are good people in it who can teach you about it and how to live.
At this age, all middle schoolers get nervous and shy on the first day of school.

Similarly, Audrey was a shy, overly anxious boy who was not mentally prepared to start middle school yet. Gina and Audrey get ready for school, but the school’s opening was a little early. They get on the way and reach school too early. Gina thinks that instead of dropping her off at the corner, she always drops her off at her parents’ drive-through.

A good older man, Wally, always stands on the corner of the school. It’s more akin to his everyday routine, boosting and encouraging kids’ self-esteem. Wally stands at the school corner to give the kids love and encouragement before they go to school. When Gina was about to drop Audrey off, she said, “Why isn’t she dropping her off at the corner?” That older man was so lovely to everyone; every kid who met him wanted to get his famous fist bumps because these kids crave love, care, and support. And because they were early, she had more time to speak with Wally. What is this man, Gina wondered? Afterward, Gina drove to that corner, saw the man, and listened to him.

Wally stood on the steps every day and gave encouragement gifts to every kid who came to meet him. He was 94 years old and had been doing this for a long time. And the best and good thing was that every kid listened to him. Every child in this society needs a man like this because, although all parents try their hardest for their kids, this man encourages them.
Wally’s cute thing was that he gave fist bumps to every kid who talked to him.
